 * Hi dear WP users,
 * I have a blog (of a friend) I am failing to fix:
    [http://www.nivcalderon.com/](http://www.nivcalderon.com/)
 * The language of the website is Hebrew, but the encoding scrambles the output,
   and I can’t find how to fix it.
 * I tried changing the DB to be utf8.
    I added this: define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ‘utf8_general_ci’);
   To the wp-config (and also this: define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); But removed it
   later, since it didn’t seem to fix the problem)
 * Any ideas of what else to do ?
 * Thanks
